the vine asks for support, the wire asks for companionship...they give to each other what is asked, and together they become more elegant.
This morning was quite dreary but the grey skies have since cleared and it is sunny now. :)
This mourning dove can be found sitting on this wire all the time but if you come too close it takes off. In this case I got one shot with my iPhone and off it flew, just as I suspected.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Washed up or, perhaps more likely, hauled up onto the landwash at the breakwater in Quidi Vidi Gut.
I went on Friday morning to see the impressive icebergs grounded a half mile out but like this picture better than what I got of the bergs. The cable is about as wide as my forearm and there seems to be about fifty feet of it there strewn in a little ditch in the rocks supporting the breakwater. I don't know what it served as but it looks like it is fifty years old or more. TransAtlantic cables and WW2 anti-submarine defenses spring to mind, but maybe it's an underwater power cable, and thus the three thick wires at the core. Perhaps it is an artefact of the US military base that existed a half mile inland from here in the 1940s and '50s. Got any guesses?

HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !
Well, only a bit of the actual window shows (upper left). However, the shutter and the androgynous little metal shutter keeper are certainly window stuff.
I think this is interesting on a composition level, but as per the caption, I am worried about the wires. It seems it wouldn't take much to create electrical trouble.
What if the wire insulation deteriorates more and some snow or wet debris connects the shutter keeper to both window wires? I wonder if I am beginning to sound like the world's most famous worrier about little things, Woody Allen.

Moore Camera Club evening playing with Wire Wool... thanks to Dave Potter for setting it all up and doing the spinning
Distant lights filtering through trees illuminates a suspended wire on our street in this night shot.
With the westbound counterpart sitting in the siding, the eastbound H-STOPVO roars across the Nevada desert. Sitting next to the tracks, old SP telephone wire still stands even years after being taken out of service.
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

123 Pictures in 2023, theme # 48 Hobbies
Strange sky tonight. This pic doesn't capture the effect... There clouds were in bands, so the sky had stripes of blue/grey and orange/yellow. It was cool.
While on a June, 5-day, river trip with some friends, we camped at one of the spots near the Wire Fence rapid. Of course, going on trips like this means I will bring all my photo toys with me, too!
The night was clear, and the moon was not out, so I decided to try to capture some Milky Way images in an area behind the camp that was not obstructed by trees.
I used a D750 with a 14-24mm Nikor lens (love this lens! Its the one that stay on my Nikon bodies the most!). I wanted to catch the MW arch over the rock formation in the distance. To do this, I did a panoramic at 9 positions (left to right). To reduce noise and have a sharper star image, I captured 4 frames at each position (all RAW). Then took a longer exposure for the foreground - not too much, because I wanted the foreground to be dark as I saw it, but still show some detail.
When I got home, I stacked each image in Sequator, and then take the produced Tiff files and stitched these using Photoshop.
A little adjustments in Photoshop to bring out the tones that I wanted, and the result is this image! A bonus for that night is the nice, greenish, air glow, too!
Anyway, there you go!
